This 274.50 carat natural Smoky Quartz is sourced from Masimbula village around mining in Sri Lanka, one of the traditional gemstone producing areas of the gem island Sri Lanka.

The gemstone measures 40 × 42.5 × 26 mm and is fashioned in a cushion cut, giving it a large face-up appearance and balanced proportions. Its color displays a yellowish-brown smoky tone, created naturally during the formation of the quartz crystal within the earth.
The stone shows clean transparency, allowing light to move through the large facets and create bright reflections across the surface. With a carat weight of over 274 carats, this gemstone is considered a large collector-size quartz specimen suitable for statement jewelry or gemstone collections.
Quartz gemstones belong to the silicon dioxide mineral family, known for their durability and wide variety of colors. Smoky quartz forms when natural radiation interacts with aluminum impurities within the crystal structure, producing the characteristic smoky color.

* statement jewelry pieces
* custom jewelry design
* gemstone collections
* carving or artistic gemstone work
* display or collector specimens
Large quartz stones from Sri Lanka are valued for their natural formation, clarity, and strong visual presence.
